Dear Liz,
I am learning about other options myself other than wefted wigs or full lace bonded systems. There are many many options for us living with long term baldness. Right now I wear a full lace cap that has to be bonded with tape or glue and the cost is around 200 for my 16 inch hair. There is no other company that will offer these types of caps at this price, Most will start around 500 and up.
http://www.toplace is where I order and have viewed or tried several compaines that offer these type of bases.
It will depend on what type of wig or cap you are wanting, and what will fit your lifestyle. You can have options of wefted wigs or caps that fit snug to your head.
If you give me some ideal of what type of design and and what price range you are seeking I will do what I can to help you with more information.
http://www.heralopecia is a great place to learn about haircovering
http://www.toplace.com is a great board forum to learn about toppers
msn has a support group but to me they support wefted wigs and compaines that or out of my price range. You might find some information there about wigs if you want to go that route
yahoo has a alopecia support group....a slow group but wondeful people there.
These are a few groups that I keep check on there are tons just do a google search for either lace hair systems or wigs or alopecia
http://www.wikipedia.com is a great site to learn about hair, wigs, alopecia, and many other information you would like to search.
Just let me know if I can help Blessings Cin
